The reality is that until the japanese belatedly adopted convoys as a standard in 1944, ASW was not done by "escorts" it was a regional thing. A given port would have some pitiful number of 2d rate ships for ASW work, and they would patrol important areas nearby their home port.

I'd expect the home port would see much coming and going by those ASW ships/craft.
